Things tp adjust:

 

Ram is slow get at least 60000mhz cl36 or better.

 

Board is overpriced literallt a b659 ds3h will more than do the trick.

 

Nhd15 is expensive. Other coolers like a fuma 2, dark rock pro4,... will do the job

 

Psu is overkill and overpriced. A 850w corsair rmx is plenty

 

What case?

I agree, especially on the PSU. He may need the NH-D15 if he wants to overclock, though the motherboard can be cheaper.

btw, I never played with Linux so I'm not sure will It affect them.

Do you mean a B650? like ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS ~ 230 USD?

Corsair RM850x (2021) ~ 190 USD

I already got a Fractal Case 🙂

Would Corsair RM850x (2021) ~ 190 USD be a better option for the PSU?
